Confined to the house in my convalescence after being run over on my bicycle by a mini van. I decided to clean off my desk. A job I had successfully avoided for the last eon. That’s when I came across and old notebook of my unfinished thoughts, musings and half-baked ideas.
This is one I titled “My Luke Warm Christianity”.
I squirmed in my pew as Father Patrick delivered his sermon about “the sins of omission” asking us if we had done all we could do...about all the missed opportunities…about all the times when we could have done more.
My cocoon of self-righteousness was starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
As I’ve aged I have grown out of the desire to do the bad things…sins of commission...or maybe I’ve lost the ability to do them. Whatever...the point is…I’m not doing any good things. I have certainly passed up many occasions to have done more.
Dear Lord, Jesus, give me the wisdom see the opportunities you send my way and the fortitude and stamina to carry through.
Amen.
